It's almost as if charters immediately abandon struggling students who might hurt their stats

>Success Academy is a non-profit, anything it earns from renting to public schools will be reinvested with the goal of improving its educational practices, it won’t just pocket the money
They pocket it via $200K+ exec salaries.

The Chinese, Korean, Azerbaijani, Indian, Russian and Secular Jewish families nearby aren't much like me, never mind "exactly" like me, but yeah, man.

>Traumatic brain injuries are no joke. Pretty clear the guy can’t even stand after his head hit the pavement. That’s at least a severe concussion and could be worse.
Need to have a brain in order to have a brain injury.

Guess we're at the point where Santos is so hated that a few weirdos are starting to defend him just to be contrarian.

>Is he qualified? Probably not, but there are no strict 'Qualifications' for that office anyway, and he couldn't do worse than some of the folks already in office. Hey, AOC was a Bartender for crying out loud. Let the guy serve. If he is a one termer, so be it.
Being a shameless liar is (morally) disqualifying, holding a working class job is not.

And then after that, how long will it take for crime *panic to reach pre-pandemic levels. Because the idiots in here will not stop screaming once it actually goes down.

>Sodebergh probably fell asleep during the original and missed the point. It’s a classic movie, but man, does Tarkovsky take his time. The scene where they seemingly spend 90 uncut minutes driving through tunnels in Japan hypnotized me and put me to sleep. When I woke up the same driving scene was still going on! > >I still prefer the Tarkovsky but the soundtrack in the Sodebergh version is phenomenal.
I'm gonna be honest, I started nodding off during the original in the 3rd act. I did enjoy it though, I just had to rewatch some of it.

How is that possible? I have it on good authority from several fucking idiots that every criminal in NYC is given Mets tickets, a Dunkin gift card and then set free.

Yes, if it was a different thing then it would be different.
